practise - POSTER 1

As part of my A2 coursework I've researched and porduced a music poster which advertsises the album which we will also have to make. This would be done using Adobe Photoshop and InDesign!






I like this Green Day poster as it looks very simple yet it would look like an illusion when on stuck on a wall for example as it would look like someone has sprayed it on. I think they have chosen produced this poster as it is because Green Day are seen as rebellious and graffiti on walls also has these connotations. The criminals which spray graffiti on walls would also be the stereotypical audience and market which green day's music is admired by.

I want to create a simliar sort of poster using images I have found of the internet, I used a piece of artwork produced by Banksy. I used Photoshop to cut around the person which would allow the background, the wall, to be placed behind. I felt as if this worked well with the photograph but I thought that the background image was too busy.

I found a more simplistic image and swapped it. Yet it still lacked the effect of the original Green Day Poster.

By adding gradient tools within InDesign I was able to create a brighter background which helps attract the audiences attention.

I later added similar fonts to those of the original poster to try and capture the same effect.















I think that this poster has come out well but I think that more information could be added which would help make the poster look more realistic such as tour dates who is selling the album etc.




But for a first try using InDesign I am happy with the progress and understanding of the software.
